KDE KControl twin window border theme style

## Window Decoration

### General

This module allows you to select a style for the borders around windows.

Each style has a different look, but also a different feel. Some have (sometimes invisible) resize borders all around the edge, which make resizing easier but moving more difficult. Some have no borders on certain edges. One (BII) even has a dynamically sized and positioned title element.

You are encouraged to experiment with the different styles until you find one which best suits your pattern of work.

Choose a window decoration style from the drop down box at the top of the screen to see a preview of it in the lower pane.

If there are any configurable options for the theme you chose on the first page, they will become available below the preview...

### Buttons

This page has instructions directly on it - just drag around the buttons until you have the order that makes you comfortable.

Not all the window decorations are able to comply with your custom set button order. The ones that cannot are being converted, but at the time of this release they have not been all been changed.

Apart from choosing the window decoration itself, you can choose here two further options: If there should be a tooltip while you hover your mouse over a window decoration button, and if the window decoration should attempt to use a custom set button order.

The tooltips can be quite useful if you have set a custom button order, and then changed to an unfamiliar window decoration.

For accessibility purposes, some window decorations support extra wide borders. If this is available, you can also choose a border size here. These large borders are easier to see for low vision users, and easier to grab for people with limited mobility or difficulty using a mouse.
